Topic: What discovery in the last 100 years has been most beneficial for people in your country? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

There are been so many discoveries in the last 100 years. Most of them have been really beneficial for people. Personally, If I had to choose one of them, I would say discovering the internet has been the most beneficial for people in my country. In addition to socializing on Facebook or Twitter via internet, people learn what is going on all over the world easily.My arguments for these points are as follows.

The first reason as to why I believe that the internet has been the most beneficial discovery for people in my country is because they can now learn news from all over the world. Therefore, they can compare the news with their thoughts and our news. For example, in the last three months, gasoline prices have changed in many countries, people in my country searched for it on the internet and they understood we have higher gasoline prices. Afterwards, they protested the higher prices.

The second reason as to why I believe that the internet has been the most beneficial discovery for people in my country is because education has became easy with using the internet. Students can search their homework from on the internet and they can achieve knowledge about subjects that they want easily. However, before the internet came people had to search everything from encyclopedias or old books which spent too much time. For instance, when I have school work, I can search it from Wikipedia and I can learn everything that I want in 2 or 3 seconds. But, if I had to search it from encyclopedias, I would spend more time on it.

My And last but not least reason, people can know eachother via internet. After you meet with someone, you can add him or her on facebook then you can learn their hobies, schools and favourite teams.It is a beneficial way for socializing.When I moved from my small town to a big city, I met with a guy in my neighborhood then I added him on Facebook. While I was looking his profile, I learned that we both are same soccer team’s fan. After that, we talked about our team and decided to go to games at the stadium together.

To sum it up, life is easier with the internet. People can achieve a lot of things using it. Furthermore, they can meet with other people and become social because of the reasons above.

FEEDBACK: A very nice well structured essay well done!!:) I only have one slight problem with it though. Is "the internet" really a "discovery" or an "invention". I am not sure as to what the raters would say about this or how it would affect your points (I have known students to get 0 for just the same thing in the past, but I think you pull it off well in your essay). All that being said, I think this is easily worth 4 points. Well done!!
